This volume offers qualitative as well as corpus-based quantitative studies on three domains of grammatical variation in the British Isles. All studies draw heavily on the Freiburg English Dialect Corpus (FRED), a computerized corpus for predominantly British English dialects comprising some 2.5 million words. Besides an account of FRED and the advantages which a functional-typological framework offers for the study of dialect grammar, the volume includes the following three substantial studies. Tanja Herrmann's study is the first systematic cross-regional study of relativization strategies for Scotland, Northern Ireland, and four major dialect areas in England. In her research design Hermann has included a number of issues crucial in typological research on relative clauses, above all the Noun Phrase Accessibility Hierarchy. Lukas Pietsch investigates the so-called Northern Subject Rule, a special agreement phenomenon known from Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. His study is primarily based on the Northern Ireland Transcribed Corpus of Speech, but also on the FRED and SED data (Survey of English Dialects) for the North of England. Susanne Wagner is concerned with the phenomenon of pronominal gender, focussing especially on the typologically rather unique semantic gender system in the dialects of Southwest England. This volume will be of interest to dialectologists, sociolinguists, typologists, historical linguists, grammarians, and anyone interested in the structure of spontaneous spoken English.

Entgegen der Annahme, dass der deutsch-franzoesische Stadtepartnerschaftsboom von 1963 bis 1975 einzigartig war, weisen die Jahre 1985 bis 1994 einen Zuwachs auf. Die Arbeit analysiert 40 Fallstudien: Wer war warum und in welchem Kontext am zweiten Boom beteiligt? Sie beleuchtet das Zusammenspiel von politischer Richtungsvorgabe, halboeffentlichen Institutionen, Zivilgesellschaft und privaten Kontakten, widerlegt die Hypothese, dass zu diesem Zeitpunkt Ressentiments Verschwisterungen nicht mehr beeintrachtigten, und betont Verdienste in der Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung. Auch wenn der Fokus auf den Jahren 1985 bis 1994 liegt, zeigen die Schlussfolgerungen aktuelle Trends auf und bieten verschiedene Erklarungsansatze fur die weltweit einmalige Anzahl von deutsch-franzoesischen Partnerschaften.
